🦋Healthcare can be a lot to navigate. What if your health plan and your care team worked together as one?

Blue Ridge Care’s Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) brings medical transportation, therapy, supportive services and more together through one coordinated program.

Open Enrollment runs November 1 through December 7, making this a great time to explore your options. If you’re wondering whether PACE could be right for you or someone you love, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Call us. Let’s talk about what support might look like for you.

💙 Being part of the community means more than showing up. It means building relationships and helping people understand the care and support available to them.

Recently, Blue Ridge Care team members connected with healthcare professionals, residents, and families at a Candy & W**e Pairing at Calveria Living at Berryville and a Trunk or Treat at Magnolia at Stephens City.

Opportunities like these allow us to have conversations, answer questions and help our neighbors become more familiar with Blue Ridge Care and the services we provide. Because when someone is navigating aging or serious illness, knowing where to turn for support can make all the difference.

We’re grateful for the community partners who welcome us and help us stay connected to the people we serve.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. 💗

Awareness is an important first step, but what we do with that awareness matters, too. Learning the signs and symptoms, staying up to date with recommended screenings, and supporting those facing breast cancer are meaningful ways we can take action.

This month, we honor those who have been impacted by breast cancer and encourage our community to learn more about breast health and available resources.

♻️ 2,676 pounds collected and one great example of community partnership in action!

Blue Ridge Care and Shenandoah County Parks & Recreation recently came together for a community e-recycling event, giving unwanted electronics a more responsible next step while helping reduce landfill waste.

A big thank you to everyone who participated and to our partners at Shenandoah County Parks & Recreation, especially Teresa F., for helping bring the event together! And a special thank you to Juston and the Blue Ridge Care Thrift Shops E-Recycling team for the work they do to make e-recycling possible in our community. 💚

💙 Connecting Care Across the Continuum

Understanding what care is available to people living with serious illness, and when that care may be appropriate, can make an important difference for patients and families.

On October 15, Blue Ridge Care’s Dr. Landrio and Dr. Richmond joined Dr. Vankirk of Valley Health for a continuing medical education event focused on the continuum from palliative care to hospice. Blue Ridge Care Board Member Dr. Yang was among those in attendance and joined the conversation during the Q&A.

Opportunities like this help us strengthen relationships across the healthcare community, share expertise and build greater understanding of the care available throughout a person’s journey. By working and learning together, we can help more patients and families connect with the right care at the right time. 🦋

🦋 Blue Ridge Care was built by people willing to listen, learn and find new ways to care.

When Sue Jessell joined Blue Ridge Hospice in 1990, she became part of a small team caring for patients and families in deeply personal ways. Those early experiences helped shape her approach to nursing and the career in hospice and palliative care that followed.

Our latest 45th Anniversary story shares Sue’s memories of those early days, the patients and families who taught her along the way, and the lessons about listening, presence and human connection that stayed with her throughout her career. 💗
